The release of spoilers for Chapter 408 of My Hero Academia has brought about new revelations in the manga. While a previous chapter unveiled the identity of the second user of the One For All quirk, the upcoming chapter promises to uncover the identity of the third user. Fortunately, fans have been given the opportunity to get an early glimpse of this through the spoilers.
In the manga's previous chapter, All For One's past and the circumstances of his birth with Yoichi were revealed. All For One believed that everything in the world belonged to him, leading to his theft of quirks and pursuit of strength. When Yoichi attempted to flee with the second user Kudou, All For One did not approve and subsequently erased Yoichi from existence.

When Izuku Midoriya initially encountered the vestiges of One For All, the identities of the second and third users remained a mystery. This has led to widespread anticipation among fans for the manga to eventually divulge the same.
Fortunately, in the previous chapters, the manga disclosed that the second user was named Kudou. It was astonishing to learn that he was a prominent individual, and he was despised by All For One for attempting to separate Yoichi Shigaraki from him.
However, the third user of One For All had a different relationship with the second user, only being a friend. My Hero Academia chapter 408 spoilers revealed that the third user's name is "ブルース" or "Bruce," although there was also an interpretation that read it as "Blues." Despite this, a reliable My Hero Academia manga leaker, @RukasuMHA, insisted that the name was definitively "Bruce." The leaker also provided an explanation, suggesting that the name was derived from the Meta Quirk: Fa Jin possessed by the third user.
In the series, Fa Jin is a unique ability that enables a user to accumulate kinetic energy and utilize it as needed. However, it also holds significance in the real world. In Chinese martial arts, Fa Jin refers to the explosive discharge of power.

The world-renowned artist and actor, Bruce Lee, famously used Fa Jin in his One-Punch technique. This has led to speculation that the name of the third One For All user may have been inspired by the actor. However, fans were not entirely pleased with this choice, finding it to be more conspicuous compared to the names of the other users. Some even expressed a desire to wait for the official release of My Hero Academia chapter 408 to confirm this.
The character "Bruce" seen in the anime (Image via BONES) aroused speculation among fans due to his blue hair and the potential alternative reading of his name as "Blues." Some fans have debated whether his true name might be "Blues" instead of "Bruce." However, this speculation cannot be confirmed until the release of My Hero Academia chapter 408 on Monday.
Editor's P/S
As an enthusiastic fan of My Hero Academia, I am thrilled about the upcoming reveal of the third OFA user's identity in chapter 408. The wait has been long, and the spoilers have only served to heighten my anticipation. I am eager to learn more about this mysterious figure and their role in the story.
The revelation of the second user's identity in the previous chapter was a major turning point in the series, and I believe that the upcoming reveal of the third user will be equally significant. I am particularly interested in learning more about their relationship with the second user and how they came to possess the One For All quirk. I am also curious to see how their abilities will compare to those of the previous users and how they will contribute to the ongoing battle against All For One.
Overall, I am very excited about the upcoming chapter and the new insights it will provide into the world of My Hero Academia. I can't wait to see what Horikoshi has in store for us and how the story will continue to unfold.
